However, some young persons will inevitably require higher levels of care. Qualitative research on family perspectives may help inform strategies to adapt family-based practices into intensified treatment settings. Our overarching aim was to investigate family members\u2019 perspectives following a family-based inpatient treatment program for adolescent anorexia nervosa and to discuss clinical implications for treatment providers.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A subsample of eight families taking part in a naturalistic outcome study at a specialized eating disorder unit participated in the study (8 patients, 14 parents, and 10 siblings).

Moreover, the results emphasized the need for more knowledge on how to optimize inpatient treatment as well as the importance of providing smooth transitions between care settings.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-020-00360-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]],"date-time":"2021-01-06T20:05:26Z","timestamp":1609963526000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Family members\u2019 reflections upon a family-based inpatient treatment program for adolescent anorexia nervosa: a thematic analysis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2750-1185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan-Vegard","family":"Nilsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d8yvind","family":"R\u00f8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inger","family":"Halvorsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanne Weie","family":"Oddli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trine Wiig","family":"Hage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"360_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"422","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-016-1129-6","volume":"16","author":"I Eisler","year":"2016","unstructured":"Eisler I, Simic M, Hodsoll J, Asen E, Berelowitz M, Connan F, et al.
